Objective:To assess the influe nce of mimic cardiac rate on hydrodynamics of the different mechanical prostheti c cardiac valves.Methods:US-made CarboMedics bile aflet valve and China-made Jiuling bileafle t valve and C-L tilting disc valve have been tested in a pulsatile flow simulat or in the aortic position. The testing condition was set at the mimic cardiac r ate of 55 beats/min,75 beats/min,100beats/min and a constant mimic cardiac out put of 4L/min. The mean pressure differences(ΔP),leakage volumes (LEV) and closi ng volumes(CLV) across each valve,and the effective orifice areas(EOA) have bee n analyzed.Results:Within the range of physiology, the ΔP,LEV and CLV were falling as the increasing of mimic cardiac rate,and the extent of variance was larger. The EOA was increasing with the increase of the mimic cardiac rate. It is a differe nt response as the altering of the cardiac rate for the different type of the me chanical prosthetic cardiac valves.Conclusions:The change of the mimic cardiac rate can affect the hydrodynamics of the mechanical prosthetic cardiac valves. The hydrodynamics of the bileaflet valve prosthesis is better than the tilting disc valve.
